This is a message of hope and good

Ude the fact that YOUR TEETH ARE
GONE.
We restore teeth.
How? Not by partial plates; not
by an insanitary, unscientific bridge
which destroys teeth, but by a pro
cess near to the great original sup
plied by nature Itself. The teeth
we place in the mouth are as close
rivals to nature's as it is possible
to supply and not grow them in the
Jaws again.
We restore teeth that have been
lost through disease or ignorant den
tistry and give you a set of teeth that
are not only beautiful to look at but
line and serviceable TO EAT WITH.
They have none of the look of
FALSE teeth. When they are in
place it would be a difficult matter
for any person, dentist or layman,
to say that they were not natural
teeth.
That la what you want.
If you have two or more teeth in
either jaw -we can replace the miss
ing teeth without the use of plates
or ordinary bridgework.'- Pyorrhea

Are you a partial plate or bridge

If so, why not do away with these

It is worth a visit of Inquiry isn't

SPIERING SCORES
Critical Tri-City Audience
Hears His Violin Recital at
Augustana College.
IS INSTRUMENT MASTER
Walter Spry, His Accompanist on the
Piano, Shares Honors of the
Performance.
A large audience listened with de
light to the recital of Theodore Spier
ing at Augustana college last night. If
anyone has any doubts that a tri-clty
audience cannot appreciate the very
best of classical music, these would
hare been Instantly dispelled by the
spontaneous applause and generous
appreciation manifested by the audi
ence in Mr. Spiering's playing last
night.. It is safe to eay that no mu
sical event given here for some time
has called forth so much favorable
comment as did the program last night.
Mr. Spieringr is in every way a mas
terful musician with a wonderful
technique, which, however, he is care
ful not to force into the foreground.
His interpretation is at all times his
chief concern, and the expression
which he exhibited in all of his selec
tions was a delight to' all. At times
his bow seemed to actually glide over
the Btrings, and again he attacked
with such dash and vigor that it seem
ed the strings must Inevitably give
way. The light, airy and fantastic
manner in which he rendered Huboys
"Zephyr" was the work of a master.
Opeatna- Xnmber the Feature.
He was probably seen at his best ad
vantage in Spohr's "Gesangscene," the
opening number and an Intensely dif
ficult piece. Vieuxtemp's "Fantasia
Appassionata" was perhaps the most
appreciated of all the numbers, being
not quite so heavy as the other selec
tions and bordering more on the pop
ular style.
Too much praise cannot be given "Wal
ter Spry, who accompanied on the
piano, for his work. His playing was
only second to that of Mr. Spiering's,
being full of sympathy and feeling.
Though playing a secondary part, he
revealed himself as a thorough master
of his Instrument and aided in a great
measure in showing Mr. Spiering at
his best advantage.
A feature of the program which call
ed for much applause was the rendi
tion of "Melody," a composition by Mr.
Spry and dedicated to Mr. Spiering.
The spectacle of a composer as ac
companist and the manfor whom the
work was composed as soloist, called
forth great applause, which Mr. Spry,
as well as Mr. Spiering, was forced to
acknowledge.

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE.
Rock Island People Should Learn to
Detect the Approach of Kidney
Disease.
The symptons of kidney trouble are
so unmistakable that they leave no
ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex
crete a thick, cloudy, offensive urine,
full of sediment, irregular of passage
or attended by a sensation of scald
ing. The back aches constantly.
headaches and dizzy spells may oc
cur and the victim is often weighed
down and by a feeling of languor
and fatigue. Neglect these warnings
and there is danger of dropsy,
Bright's disease, or diabetes. Any
one of these symptons Is warning
enough to begin treating the kidneys
at once. Delay often proves fatal.
You can use no better remedy than
Doan's Kidney Pills. Here's Rock
Island proof:
Miss A. Webb, 718 Fourth avenue,
Rock Island, 111., says: "When I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised some
time ago, I procured a box at the
Harper House pharmacy. A member
of the family who had been complain
ing of backache and kidney complaint
used this remedy and was given
prompt relief. While I never have
taken Doan's Kidney Pills, I know
them to be an excellent kidney medi
cine and one worthy of endorsement."

DRIVER PAINFULLY HURT
Injuries Develop After Collision of
Carriage With Street Car.
' It was reported yesterday that
Mike McGulnn. the driver of the car
riage which collided with, a Long
View street car Thursday night at
Ninth avenue and Twenty-third
street, was not seriously Injured by
the fall which he received. It was
thought at the time that he had re

and not much attention was paid to
it at the time. Last night, however,
the injury became very painful and
the attendance of a physician was
sought. Upon examination by X-Ray
it was found that the ligaments of
the shoulder and the arm had been
torn badly. McGulnn is confined to
his room in the Frick building on

forced in cases where the company is
up to standard In other particulars.

He made quite a reputation for hmevlf looking for an honest man.
Now-a-days a man living like that would be considered a bum, but he

Men now don't have to prove themselves honest; all they have to do
Is to not prove dishonest; also they have to provide more than the bare
necessities of life. That's the reason a good many of us get "up
against it" at one time or another; things that were once luxuries have
now become necessities.
If you are striving to be honest and are "up against it" for money,
come here to see us. We have been loaning money In small amounts for
many years. It's no disgrace to borrow money, but it is a disgrace to
cheat a man out of an honest debt and many a man can save his self

COAL DEALERS HIT
Confessions of Stenographer
Involve Six Men at In
dianapolis. HOTELS LEADING VICTIMS
By Conspiring With Engineers Pay
Was Collected for Fuel that
Was Never Delivered.
Indianapolis, Ind., April 9. After
a battle of conflicting emotions, self
preservation and a sense of honesty
a struggle continuing for almost a
year Mrs. Jeanette F. Stern, for
merly of Chicago, a stenographer in
the employ of the Eclipse Coal com
pany, 430 Indiana avenue, has yield
ed to her better prompting as she
thinks.
She has given to the police Infor
mation which already has resulted
in the arrest of six men said to be
involved in a gigantic coal graft
scheme. Big fuel companies are
concerned in the alleged steals.
Thoae I'ader Arrest.
The men arrested are:
Charles James- Jackson, senior
partner of the Eclipse Coal company.
Edward R. Gross, Junior member
of the Eclipse company.
Rhodie Jackson, clerk.
John H. nanrahan, engineer at
English's hotel.
Fred J. Voss, engineer at Claypool
hoter.
Charles Edmonson, engineer at the
city hospital.
Taken In, One by One.
The charge against the men Is
grand larceny and their alleged
crime has to do with a conspiracy
alleged to have taken thousands of
dollars out of the pockets of hotel
proprietors and the city of Indian
apolis. Mrs. Stern, who caused the arrests
is the wife of C. A. Stern, living at
320 Virginia avenue, and has been
in the employ of the Eclipse com
pany about a year. In the offices of
Superintendent of Police Hyland
yesterday afternoon she confronted
the six men arrested and accused
them of conspiracy to rob Henry
Lawrence, proprietor of the Claypool
hotel, W. E. English, proprietor of
the Hotel English, and the city of
Indianapolis, besides several other
corporations in the sale of coal short
in weight many thousands of pounds.
